Anyone have any experience streaming 3DS to Wii U? I found the GBAtemp thread on it so it seems like a neat concept but just wondering if anyone here has tried it.

I thought I was going to be fine with this when I set up my New 2DS LL, but it's a bit of a pain if you want to curate a nice, large collection of titles that are mostly American and actually play them  I ended up following Wario64 on Twitter and watching for a restock of Nintendo's refurbished New 2DS XL units and switched to that a couple of weeks ago, I think it was USD$99 / CAD$129 (plus you can transfer the save files between the two with Checkpoint and an FTP server)

I wish I had gotten in on a 2ds XL refurb. I think they are all gone now. Stupid Wario64 and his scalper troop ate them up within minutes each time he posted them.

They pop up around once every week or 2 but they're usually gone in <3-4 minutes. Gamestop also seems to have been getting various iterations of 2/3DSes in as refurbs, I had really good luck with mine. More expensive than off Nintendo's site (I got a 2DSXL for $150) but  it's in essentially brand-new condition, and as I learned after several hours of frustration and confusion, was apparently already CFW'ed by the previous owner  keep an eye on https://www.reddit.com/r/3DSdeals/new/ as well

I'm just not a fan of wario64. He's got so many scalpers following him now that any deal is bought up instantly. The 2ds XLs are all over ebay for $200. I am sure then normal 2ds refurbs are there, too.

I've posted this before, but just buy a used one. I have bought like a half dozen used 2DS XLs locally over the last year or two and aside from some light scratches on the bottom they're almost always otherwise in "like new", even the kid owned ones. The finish is remarkably durable and the clamshell deisgn keeps the inside/screens in good shape. Every now and then busy parents throw them up on FB Marketplace as "Nintendo DS" after their kid drops it for the Switch, never paid more than AU 80 for a console unless it came with a trove of decent games.

YOLO. I updated with no immediate ill effects but no thorough testing done, really. Games still launch, luma still patching them for USA/EN locale/language, which was really my only requirement. (I also wasn't sure what the 3ds was asking since it was in Japanese, I thought it was something about a game update but forgot 本体更新 is system update) some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jul 27, 2021 |

I've been playing Samus Returns and I really like it. I've normally been cold on the 2D Metroids but it has been grabbing me more than any of the others have. I'm looking forward to Dread when it comes out.

I can't say I cared for the boss fights though. They were too long, the bosses weren't particularly interesting, and frankly Samus is both too big and touch too clunky to be as mobile as the protagonist in Hollow Knight or other Metroidvanias.

Bumping an old rear end dead thread because Gamestop has a bunch of "refurbished" 3ds family systems in stock. I know experiences on these vary greatly, but at least with Gamestop you can do a return fairly easily. https://www.gamestop.com/consoles-hardware/3ds/3ds?prefn1=brand&prefv1=Nintendo If you've slept on this system or need another one for the collection, this might be the way to go. I got lucky on my n3dsxl I ordered from them as it was in near pristine condition.

The kids keep fighting over my Switch and there's no way I'm solving this problem with two more Switches but I sure can afford to buy a refurb 2DS, hand down my 3DS and buy a fist full of DS games they've never seen before off of eBay.

I’d get a flash cart for ds games. eBay is full of fake carts anyways.

Yea flash cart for DS games is the best way to do it. For the 2DS/3DS hack it and then just download the games hshop. I’ve got two 2DS for my kids and it’s perfect. You get the sturdy Nintendo build quality and great Nintendo games.

Flashcart is just easier and they've been around since the DS was at its height.

I just use TwilightMenu++ or whatever it's called for DS games, no flash cart needed.

Twilight++ is an option. I tried it first but ran into various issues with different games and found the flash cart to just work with no issues. Doesn’t hurt to give it a shot though.

That's my experience as well. An R4 is just more reliable for DS game compatibility and emulators are good for everything else. I never could get GBA games to play in Twilight either.

Since we all got kicked out of the switch thread for being too bitchy, what's good here?? I'm currently on the last floor in EOIV, it's been a really good time! I don't think I'm going to do any of the post game stuff because I want to move on to other games but I'm glad I finally saw this one through. Well almost, the 5th maze is kind of a slog with the way it's set up. Oh yeah the recolored FOEs are also getting to be a little too excessive at this point! I'm debating starting devil survivor or strange journey next, but with SMTV around the corner I don't want to burn out on megaten rn. I could also jump right into EOV since the touch screen is so important and It actually gives me a reason to pick up my 3DS over my switch or PS5 What are y'all playing?

My kids have been stealing my 2DSXL to play Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Kirby Planet Robobot lately. Last thing I finished on there was Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology which was fun. Right now I'm working my way through Final Fantasy 8 on my little retro handheld but after that I might jump back and play Ocarina of Time since everyone talking about has got it on my mind and I haven't beat it since I was a kid.

Games I'm "playing": Kirby's Epic Yarn- it's not very interesting or good. I don't know how much effort I should put into it, but the Hard mode is nearly tedious so I don't really focus on that. Oracle of Ages/Season- these are not as good as I remembered them. They feel sort of bloated, they're rather formulaic, and while the puzzles are ok, they lack a lot of the charm that made LA work, and a lot of the everything that works in LttP. Pushmo- I finally beat it, but then I unlocked the extra puzzles so here I am yet again. Bravely Default: I ran out of steam somewhere. It's fun, but the plot is whatever and while I like the mechanics I've come to terms I'm not huge on Job Systems. There's just too many choices. Games I can play forever: Theatrhythm Curtain Call- I love it, it's so good, but it's sort of aimless. It's a hell of a way to listen to FF songs though. Kinda wish it had some more goals and that I knew more about FF 10 and up. Rhythm Heaven- Excellent game, harder than expected especially when trying to get good scores, which is all I have left to do. Games I own but haven't started: MGS 3 Snakeeater: I need to finish some of the above before I get to this. Pushmo 2+3- I need to beat 1... One day. Games I will eventually buy: Haha this list is too long, but almost certainly Ocarina of Time, Link Between Worlds, and Luigi's Mansion 1+2, alongside any number of Virtual Console games. I'm considering getting: Yoshi's Wooly World, Kid Icarus Uprising, Star Fox 64 3D, and DKC Returns. --- I pretty much travel with my 3DS and plug away at things in that fashion. My Switch is an at home console, though I use it portable in that setting.

Anyone have an opinion on the best 3D effect eShop only games? Most people seem not to use it much, but I’m all ‘bout it. Would like to stock up before they eventually shut the store down. I’ve got all the Sega Classics, all the Nintendo “Classics” or whatever they were called. Pushmo 1/2.

There’s a 3rd Pushmo game that’s worth getting and Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball is another gem.
